Clevelanda rockin' good time

The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the oldest such ensembles in the country, making music since 1918. It’s also consistently rated as one of the world’s best orchestras. For most of the year (when it’s not touring Europe or Japan), it performs in the spectacular Severance Hall, built in 1931 and located in University Circle. The orchestra’s summer season takes place 35 miles south, in Cuyahoga Falls, at Blossom Music Center, which includes covered pavilion seating and a large lawn area in a natural dell surrounded by woods. If you enjoy music and the Cleveland Orchestra is performing, you should try to attend a concert and, as the orchestra’s slogan goes, “hear what the world is talking about.”
